Product Overview

STERIS Verify Bowie-Dick Test Cards are designed for use in a 132 to 134 ºC (270 to 273 ºF) pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycle with an exposure time of 3-½ to 4 minutes. Available for single or multiple vacuum cycles, the multiple chemical bars will change color from yellow to black. If air is trapped in the card, the bars will not darken equally. Provides an easy and accurate way to test air removal and steam penetration in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 132 to 134 ºC. It is a lightweight, compact, one piece system that is pre-assembled and ready for use. DART Daily Air Removal Tests eliminate the need to spend time folding towels and preparing packs necessary for traditional Bowie-Dick Test Packs.

HOW VERIFY BOWIE-DICK TEST CARDS WORK

Each day the Verify Bowie-Dick Test Card should be placed above the drain in an empty sterilizer. As the pre-vacuum sterilization cycle is run, steam will penetrate the laminated card through two holes and will turn the indicator from yellow to black. When the cycle is complete the card can be retained for your records.
